	I don't know about any other *legal* gun owners out there, but
my guns have never been used to kill innocent people (in fact they've
never killed anything except a piece of paper.)

	And from what you said I assume you believe that if we don't
exercise a right it *should* be taken away from us?  Could you please
explain why?
